3 Anchorage Port Modernization Project (APMP) $350,000,000 The requested state funding represents the estimated cost to build and maintain a modern, safe and efficient facility with a versatile plan to support the multimodal movement of goods throughout the state. The Port also serves the needs of our military in its role as one of our nation s strategic ports. The Municipality of Anchorage (MOA) now exercises complete control over the Project and determines how state and local funds are utilized. As of August 2014, the Municipality has shifted the goal of the project from what was an expansion, to a modernization initiative. The MOA and APMP have initiated management and scope changes for the project. These management and oversight initiatives will provide essential information for orderly and efficient port development, together with local control and accountability. Continued support from the State is essential to the progress of the Port Modernization Project moving toward a modern and more efficient port facility in Anchorage that will serve the citizens of Alaska for decades to come. 3

11 Southcentral Law Enforcement Tactical Range Construction & Land Acquisition $4,800,000 The Southcentral Law Enforcement Tactical Range, a Campus of the Arctic Public Safety Training Institute (PSTI), will be a dedicated outdoor shooting facility with four individual ranges of different sizes to accommodate various types of firearms including long guns (rifles) and the simultaneous training of multiple agencies. The facility will enable area law enforcement personnel to maintain firearms proficiency in a safe setting, and to engage in realistic tactical training in a more appropriate venue than current public ranges. The facility will be available to all law enforcement agencies in Alaska. Since October of 2004, a coalition of agencies has been working cooperatively on the project. The Southcentral Law Enforcement Tactical Range will enable adequate long gun and tactical training for law enforcement personnel. It will provide the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team snipers adequate distance for training with long range weapons. This will make law enforcement agencies more effective in protecting the public. This round of funding will be utilized for land acquisition and facilities construction. 11

16 2015 State Operating Budget Requests Alaska Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Intervention Program $1,200,000 The Anchorage Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) manages the Alaska Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Intervention Program (ADVSAIP). The ADVSAIP is designed to increase victim safety and hold offenders accountable through a unique partnership between the DHHS, the Municipal Prosecutor s Office, the Anchorage Police Department, the Abused Women s Aid in Crisis (AWAIC), and two recently added partners: Standing Together Against Rape (STAR) and Victims for Justice (VFJ). The expansion provides emergency financial assistance to victims of sexual violence and victims of underserved crimes such as arson, burglary and assault as well as domestic violence. The ADVSAIP established and maintains the only database in the state that provides information on offender bail conditions, which are, through a flag in the Alaska Public Safety Information Network (APSIN), available to any peace officer across the state. In Anchorage, police officers investigate whether defendants are compliant with their court orders, and rearrest them if they are not. Since 2007 the program has served more than 8,000 victims in 38 communities across Alaska. Human Services Community Matching Grant $2,320,979 The grant helps address critical needs within Anchorage, the unavailability of which would subject persons needing the service for serious mental or physical hardship and is supported by a Community Needs Assessment carried out by the Municipality. To ensure this, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) requires that projects funded are in one of the following categories: basic provision of food, basic provision of temporary/emergency shelter and related services, health support services, or protective legal services for children and adults. Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) Program $300,000 Forensic exams are vital to the prosecution of sexual assault crimes. The SART program uses national standards in evidence collection to assist law enforcement investigations while providing a sensitive environment focused on the dignity of victims. MOA has supported this program for several years; however, the cost of the program is now much higher with the increased caseloads. Currently, there is no consistent stream of funding to support these exams. Additional funding is requested to assist with maintaining 24/7 response for adult sexual assault exams. 16
